A 122-m-long (400-ft-long) spur jetty is located alx)ut 30.5 m (100 ft) from 

 the shoreward end of the breakwater and extends parallel to shore. The height 

 of the spur jetty varies from +2.6 m (+8.6 ft) at the breakwater to +0.9 m 

 (+3.0 ft) at its northern end. The spur jetty and a stone revetment, which 

 extends north from the breakwater along the shore and then west, were con- 

 structed to prevent waves from flanking the north breakwater. The south jetty 

 is 1,463 m (4,800 ft) in length with the shoreward 536 m (1,760 ft) construc- 

 ted to an el of +3.35 m (+11 ft), and the remainder constructed to a +1.7-m 

 (+5.5-ft) el. A stone revetment extends north from the jetty along the shore- 

 line to the river to prevent flanking of the breakwater by waves. Figure 3 is
